Life review is a relational process that mobilizes stories to uncover and identify values, lessons and dreams that become part of legacy.
Create safe and inspiring venues for the telling of these stories, settings that facilitate conversations, insights and continuity. When possible, go outside in nature, the repository of childhood memories and a freedom of spirit we so easily forget when we seemingly grow up.
The sharing of stories goes far beyond crafting a legacy. It also fosters transformative moments of deep acceptance, forgiveness and healing.

I wish my parent’s doctors would read this book! Everyone who deals with those over 70 should read it. We teach early childhood education, but why is there no education in how to deal with those in the last part of their lives, so they feel respected. This guy is great.
